Publisher's Summary:

In 1737, Anna Konig and her fellow church members stagger off a small wooden ship after 10 weeks at sea, eager to start a new life in the vibrant but raw Pennsylvania frontier. On the docks of Port Philadelphia waits bishop Jacob Bauer, founder of the settlement and father to ship carpenter Bairn. It's a time of new beginnings for the reunited Bauer family, and for Anna and Bairn's shipboard romance to blossom. But this perfect moment cannot last. As Bairn grasps the reality of what it means to be Amish in the New World - isolated, rigid with expectations, under the thumb of his domineering father - his enthusiasm evaporates. When a sea captain offers the chance to cross the ocean one more time, Bairn grabs it. Just one more crossing, he promises Anna. But will she wait for him? When Henrik Newman joins the church just as it makes its way to the frontier, Anna is torn. He seems to be everything Bairn is not - bold, devoted, and delighted to vie for her heart. And the most dramatic difference? He is here; Bairn is not. Far from the frontier, an unexpected turn of events weaves together the lives of Bairn, Anna, and Henrik. When a secret is revealed, which true love will emerge?

Publisher's Summary:

Gregarious Rose Lehman, who's always the life of the Amish youth singings, is determined to marry the bishop's son, Reuben Byler - until the handsome Army buddy of her future brother-in-law shows up in Lancaster County. In comparison to Trevor, Reuben seems downright boring. Trevor shares Rose's sense of fun and adventure, and her easygoing disposition. When her sister Lila's buggy is rear-ended and Lila is horribly injured, Rose finds herself with more freedom than she's ever experienced. Everyone is so concerned about Lila that no one realizes Rose is sneaking out with Trevor. Except for Reuben. But in his usual passive way, he doesn't confront her, nor does he address the situation with her Dat or anyone else in the district. Rose appreciates Reuben's discretion, but she also resents it. Part of her relishes the freedom she's found with Trevor, but the other part of her wishes Reuben would "fight" for her, as much as any Amish man would. Too late, she realizes the foolish choice she's made. Has she ruined her best chance at love, or is there another path to happiness she just hasn't seen yet?

Heartwarming and inspiring, The Color of a Christmas Miracle is the tale of one woman's journey to find happiness, and to learn the power of forgiveness and redemption on the path to true love.

Members Reviews:

Typical premise. Unimpressed

Don't be blinded by the title, this is hardly a book about Christmas, but rather a book about a woman who falls in love, gets her heart broken by her cheating, no good husband who runs off with the neighbors wife, he ends up getting the wife pregnant and then he is killed on an accident and leaves a pregnant adulteress behind.

I thought I would love this one, but the main character comes off as extremely Whiney, needy, obsessed with having a baby and very difficult to relate to.

The ending is as you would expect. She falls in love and has her happily ever after with the neighbors husband.

Usually I like this series, but not this time.

The narrator did a great job at the main character but for all other characters even the sister, Bev, she sounded awful. Maybe like a 100 year old smoker.

Members Reviews:

Soo Good

I got this book via audiobook boom. I loved this story. It is a story of faith, strength and the ability to make lemonade out of lemons. After living in an abusive situation and escaping then finding the one man that God has for you was remarkable. It makes you think about how when you read the Bible with understanding rather than through someone else's eyes. This story made me think and continue to listen until the end.

Christian confusing covenant?

Not as Christian based as originally thought. The scheming to bring John and romance while still married perplexed me.

I guess I'm not fond of Christian Romance

No complaints against the narrator. I just did not care for the way the story unfolded.

Wanted so much more from a Christian Romance

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This story did not seem realistic to life. I was hopeful for a good story of God's redemption. Instead it portrayed unrealistic events. I will admit I've never been in an abusive relationship. I found the main character's responses, the action of the abuser and the other characters unrealistic. For example if a sweet girl had lived in town for a year, in a town that claims to be friendly and loving, the townspeople side with her rather than her abusive husband when he shows up saying negative things about her. And really, would a police officer not come when a woman calls to say she's been beaten up by her husband? The Christian parts felt stuffed into the story rather than the redemptive part of the story. Such a disappointment.

What was most disappointing about T.K. Chapins story?

The unrealistic details of the events of the story.

What about Susan Fouches performance did you like?

The reader did a good job reading the story and putting emotion into it. She has a pleasant voice and the characters were distinct.

Any additional comments?

I hope this is not evidence of the quality of this author since I read "best-selling" author in the reviews.

Perseverance Pays Off

A woman slowly realizes that her husbands beatings are not due solely to alcohol use and decides to leave him to save her life and the life of their unborn child. She moves as far away from him as she possibly can and makes a new life for herself under an assumed name. Just when she is becoming accepted into the tight knit community, and possibly falling in love again against her better judgment, her husband shows up in town.

She is not sure about the man she is falling for. He has shown a willingness to be violent. But her also appears to be a kind person and a godly man. He is struggling with his own dilemma at the moment and this makes him appear to be something that he is not.

This book has no surprises, is a story we have all seen before, and, of course, has a somewhat sappy ending.

Love Bears All Things by Beth Wiseman is book 2 ...

Love Bears All Things by Beth Wiseman is book 2 in An Amish Secrets Series.

It's an amazing thing to watch someone's faith grow from a seed into a full blossoming beautiful butterfly, that's just what you will find in this book as Charlotte Dolinsky recovers from her breakup with her boyfriend Ryan and makes the move back to Lancaster with her Amish friends who she considers her family.

Then to top it off a member of his own family is in danger of being shunned, Daniel is heartbroken but he knows the one person who can help him cope is the one person he should not turn to Charlotte. Can he trust he? After all she lied so many times before!

This book is a wonderful example of how God works to teach not only oneself but others that through faith and strength in oneself you can thansform yourself into the life God wants you to live and the path you are meant to walk. Charlotte's faith and Daniel's struggles to grow into his family understanding make for a truly wonderful book. I highly recommend this book. I love Charlotte's charater and look forward to book 3 Home All Along.

Great read!

What a great book, they say the first book in a series is the best. But in the opinion on this series, I liked book 2 so much better. I loved reading that Charlotte is growing in her faith of God. I thought I wasn't going to like her in this series. But she changed by the end of the first book, that I started to care for her. She had a tough childhood. And reading how God is changing her like is peaceful. My heart hurts for the King family and Annie, about Jacob. I really hope Beth Wiseman is writing more for this series. So that Jacob will come back. And maybe hear more about Dianda, Charlotte sister she couldn't recall until recently. But enough about that.

Bright, curious, and restless, Ruthie Stoltzfus loves her family but is stuck in a sea of indecision about her future: Should she stay Amish? Or should she leave? She's done all she can to prepare to go - passed the GED, saved her money - but she can't quite set her journey into motion.

Publisher's Summary:

Jebediah Brenneman lost his wife during childbirth, along with his new baby daughter - the third daughter they had together. He relied on Eliza Yoder to help care for his wife during her last trimester, along with their two young daughters. Eliza continued to help manage his household and his children after the death of his wife so that he could continue to work in his construction company. When Bishop Abram suggests that Jebediah is relying too much on Eliza, and that perhaps it is time he remarries, Jebediah is upset. How can he even think of remarrying someone?

Eliza Yoder realizes she is being selfish. She needs to consider Jebediah and his children's needs above her own. While she likes working for him, it may be better to step aside and allow another woman to take over. She's even willing to help him find a new wife.

Jebediah knows that his daughters need someone to look out for them, but can he consider a woman he knows that his children do not get along with? Can another woman love his children nearly as much as he does? What is Eliza willing to do for the children?

After two years of mourning the loss of his wife, Jebediah realizes how much he really needs Eliza, and how much he would miss her not being a part of his life. But has she found someone closer to her own age? Jebediah hopes that he can encourage her to become a real family.

Publisher's Summary:

Topsy-turvy or right-side up?

Green Acres newcomer Chelsea Riehl is annoyed. After all, she signed on as an event planner, not to pit plums alongside mission-minded hippie Keanan Welsh, the only other single on the farm.

Discouraged by Chelsea's lack of spiritual depth, Keanan is confused when she offers to arrange meals for the church Alpha program he is co-hosting. Maybe he misjudged her after all.

When fake it 'til you make it gives way to a leap of faith, both Chelsea and Keanan have some soul-searching to do. Will getting on the same page spiritually be enough to flip their budding romance right-side up?

Plum Upside Down is the fifth book in the Farm Fresh Romance series. If you like Christian romance novels that are clean, green, and filled with characters you alternately wish to hug and shake, you'll love Valerie Comer's pause-resisting romance series.

Members Reviews:

My favorite book from a favorite series!

What did you like best about this story?

This book is about Chelsea and Keanan, newcomers to the organic farm in northern Idaho purchased by Chelsea's sister Sierra and her two close friends. I really enjoyed the first three books in this series and then liked book four even more. Personally, I find it rare for a series to get better and better, but this series just keeps surprising me.

In Plum Upside Down, Valerie Comer has dug even deeper and, in Chelsea, bared parts of the spiritual journey of a kid who grows up in a Christian home that most of us are completely unwilling to think about, let alone talk about. In this book, Valerie tackles the question, "Does God actually love me personally or does He just love me as a part of the whole world?" She lays bare the longing many of us have experienced as we watch the passion of a new believer who knows what it's like to live without Christ and can't believe how amazing He is. And she boldly proclaims that those of us who can't remember NOT knowing the Gospel can still be blown away by His love and His power in our lives. And she does it in a way that DOESN'T make you feel like you're studying theology!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The way that Chelsea comes to understand God's love for her personally and begins to know Him herself was extremely moving to me.

Any additional comments?

This book has a really great story line with totally loveable characters. The themes of environmentalism and sustainability are continued and expounded upon. We even get to travel to South Africa for a bit! It's all done so masterfully, I found myself a little in awe as I finished it, wiping away my tears and realizing I had not only just finished a really fun story, but that I had experienced an encounter with God and that there was a newness and a freshness about our relationship that hadn't been there when I started the book.

Full of Depth

I love this story in general. I loved reading it when it first came out and I absolutely loved the plot. I continue to really appreciate Comer's willingness to address issues that are relatable to a Christian's life, the bad and ugly as well as the good. I really appreciated that even though the characters came from completely different perspectives and backgrounds, they each realized that growth needed to occur.
